1And the LORD said to Moses, 2“Bring Aaron and his sons, and their garments, and the anointing oil, and a bull for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread; 3And gather all the congregation together at the entrance of the tabernacle of meeting.” 4And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly gathered at the entrance of the tabernacle of meeting. 5And Moses said to the congregation, “This is what the LORD has commanded to be done.” 6And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water. 7And he put upon Aaron the coat (tunic), and tied a sash around his waist, and dressed him in a robe, and put the ephod on him, and fastened it upon him with the beautifully woven sash of the ephod. 8And he put the breastplate on him: he also put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastplate. 9And he placed the miter (turban) upon his head; and on the forefront of the miter he put the golden medallion, the holy crown; as the LORD had commanded Moses. 10And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and so consecrated them. 11And he sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times, anointing the altar and all its utensils - both the laver (basin) and its foot (base), to sanctify them. 12And he poured some of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to consecrate him. 13And then Moses brought Aaron's sons forward, and put coats (tunics) upon them, and tied them with sashes, and put turbans upon them; as the LORD had commanded Moses. 14And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon its head. 15And Moses killed it; and took the blood, and put it on all the horns of the altar with his finger, to purify it, and poured the rest of the blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it. 16And Moses took all the fat that was upon the internal organs, and the fat above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar. 17But the bullock, and its hide, flesh, and dung, he burned outside the camp; as the LORD had commanded Moses. 18And then he brought in the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. 19And Moses killed it; and sprinkled its blood all over the altar. 20And Moses cut the ram in pieces; and burned the head, the pieces, and the fat. 21And Moses washed the internal organs and the legs in water; and burned the entire ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savor, and an offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses. 22And then he presented the other ram, the ram of consecration (ordination): and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. 23And Moses slew it; and took some of its blood, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. 24And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put some of the blood upon the tip of their right ears, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood all over the altar. 25And he took the fat, the rump, all the fat that was upon the internal organs, the fat above the liver, the two kidneys, their fat, and the right shoulder: 26And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder: 27And he put all of these in Aaron's hands, and his sons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD. 28And then Moses took them from their hands, and burned them on the altar on top of the burnt offering, as an ordination offering, a pleasing aroma - an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 29And Moses took the breast, which was Moses' share of the ordination ram, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD: as the LORD commanded Moses. 30And Moses took some of the anointing oil, and some of the blood from the altar, and sprinkled Aaron, Aaron’s garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments; and thereby sanctified Aaron, his garments, his sons, and their garments. 31And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the meat at the entrance of the tabernacle of meeting (tent of meeting): and eat it there with the bread from the basket of consecrations (ordination offerings), as I commanded when I said, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it’. 32And you shall burn up what remains of the meat and the bread. 33And you shall not go outside of the tabernacle of meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration are completed, for your consecration will last for seven days. 34Everything we have done this day, the LORD has commanded that we do, to make an atonement for you. 35Therefore, you shall abide (remain) at the entrance of the tabernacle of meeting day and night for seven days, and do what the LORD requires, so that you do not die: for this is what I have been commanded.” 36So Aaron and his sons did everything which the LORD commanded through Moses.
